High blood pressure aberiterone

i've been on abiraterone over 4yrs now and on blood pressure tablets for about 2 yrs 

seem to keep it in check 

Hi Skye,

My partners goes up and down and he checks his blood pressure everyday as that does seem to be another "side effect' from the Abiraterone/treatment. Worth buying a monitor. Could be a bit of stress maybe as he's going to have his Radiotherapy any minute. I always go sky-high when I'm going to the GP, and usually have to monitor mine for a week after, it literally goes right down as soon as I leave the GP's room. If you buy your own monitor and track it it will give you piece of mind as to where it's at. 

Best wishes for the start of RT

Aww yeah I knew it can cause high blood pressure but thought it might be a case of being putting on blood pressure medication. I do have my own monitor so checked it last night and today and appears to be normal again so obviously a wee blip at the time. But was told to monitor it over next few days. 
yes radio starts tomorrow. So next hurdle away to start hooefully not too much side effects. 
I am sure I will be on over the next 4-6 weeks asking questions. Thanks to all for answers and advice I have been given since the start of our journey. Xx

Hi Skye

Hope the "sunbed" treatment goes well - beware of the fatigue, it sneaks up on you! I didn't get any diet instructions but the general advice was to avoid food and drink that can give you "wind".

Best wishes

Brian.

Good luck with the start of RT tomorrow. You'll probably make some new friends in the waiting room who are all at different stages of the same path.

Anyone willing to share what blood pressure medicines worked while on Abiraterone? So far I've tried amlodepine and I did absolutely nothing. My primary care Dr. Isn't that up to seed on the abbi ADT blood pressure side affects. Thanks In advance 

My husband is one year on in aberiterone and keeps getting told his blood pressure is high but they don’t seem to be doing anything about it just keep monitoring so I presume it not abnormally high. So can’t advise on types of blood pressure medications sorry xc
